#215 | May Q&A: NSTs, Short Cords, Boundaries, Fetal Ejection Reflex, Decels in Labor, Artificial Rupture of Membranes, VBAC, Postpartum Doulas

47 min•31 maj 2023

Hello! We are back with the May Q&A.  This month we kick things off with a short conversation on obstetrical rhetoric around the risks of cesarean birth and induction, followed by your excellent  questions on:

  • Short cords and small placentas
  • Setting boundaries with well-meaning parenting advice-givers
  • The necessity or not of Non-stress tests (NST) in late pregnancy
  • True medical indications for artificial rupture of membranes (AROM)
  • VBAC labor contractions and an interesting tidbit on the impact of eating dairy in pregnancy 
  • Supporting the fetal ejection reflex (FER)
  • Can coffee (yep, you read that right) prevent tearing in labor?

And in our extended version of this episode, we dive into:

  • Ultrasounds in late pregnancy
  • Pap smear recommendations
  • Fetal heart rate decelerations in labor
  • Postpartum doulas and how they can best support breastfeeding
  • Umbilical cords as bungee cords or not?
  • And of course, everyone's favorite, a round of quickies!
